Question. When you first learn that he’s a vampire it looks like he is ABOUT TO bite you. But during the dialogue I noticed that bite marks showed up on my neck. So, I kicked him out because fuck you for biting me while I sleep. But then the marks went away right away.
He tells you that you’re his first time of tasting a human. He’s been surviving on animals only. Ofc he could be lying/acting but he comes across unusually sincere and vurnarable.
I don’t think so? Him biting you gives you the negative stat Bloodless, and you only get that after you let him bite you (that stat is why I never let him get his teeth near me again. It screwed all my dice rolls). I think he was sneaking off before to go hunt animals.
That scene took a surprising amount of time to trigger in my first attempt. I’d already cleared out the Goblin camp and was half-way through the Underdark - must have been at least 10 long rests at that point.
Frankly, I booted him after the initial interaction in my first playthrough way back in early beta and haven’t added him at all in any run since. Fuck Astarion. Lying, piece of shit, low-effort sleep rapist.
Man… I guess considering your strong feelings about it, you’re better off without him, but he’s one of the most interesting companions in the game. He has a tragic backstory, and a cunning personality. He’s my second favorite companion overall. I was this close to betraying Karlach because of his machinations.

Dis he bite me or was that a bug?
You need to take some things into account.
Without any influence, Astarion is a lying manipulative asshat.
You catch Astarion on the second or third night sleeping with him in your camp, as far as I found, never on the first.
That fucker succeeded previously, It’s just that THIS time you woke up.
If you consent to him biting you later on,

I think that has to be a bug. You’re supposed to be able to let him bite you consensually (or deny him) later.
Ah, ok. I wonder if they fixed it because I saw that multiple times, because I’ve restarted the game 4 times before I learned of Withers.

Seems to be the consensus.

Never. Betray. Karlach. 🔥❤️☠️
I didn’t.
